Slowly this cardigan is having its shape coming together. Love the soft yellow colour in this yarn. I have never knit with Soybean yarn and it’s my first time dyeing it too.
Love the feel on how this yarn knits up. It is so strong and doesn’t split at all. You really need a scissor to cut the yarn no way you can tear it.
I think this will look perfect in the summer months with shorts.
“Change your viewpoint, go out and “be interested” in your surroundings and FIND something interesting to photograph or FIND something interesting about life to photograph.”
My thoughts on this is: “The Anchor Is The Center Of Your Heart. Stay True To Your Heart. Don’t Forget To Dream And Be Yourself“
I find to many times we do as people think we need to do and follow… I believe in just following what is right for me.
Honestly I don’t even change my pictures much. Possible at times crop them, but that is it. I try to see the photo as I am and that is cool … Just me.
It is as we see it and why change and make them more glam?
Smiles I do the same in my crafting…( Knitting, Sewing etc.) Lets be us and not make the pictures etc. what it is not…..
Day 3 was Sunday Jan. 13th. beautiful sunrise once again with fresh ground coffee. With my home baked Biscottis I brought down to the island. So today we have a very exiting day ahead of us..
Best way to start this adventure is with a rainbow.
Island tour with our amazing guide Cutty and his daughter. He showed us so many beautiful spots…
There is no way I can do this post all in one… if you are still with me now and are up to this adventure with me… I tell you, it will be so much fun. with sunshine and flowers everywhere.
From Clarke’s Court Boatyard & Marina all 5 crew boarded the mini bus. First stop was Fort Frederick a historical, French-built fort atop a hill offers sweeping views of the St. George & ocean.
Have I told you yet I love to take pictures of water droplets on flowers… Wait don’t go to far… next post is at Annandale Waterfalls.. omg soooo refreshing.
….after some time not really having my knitting needles in my hand …. Just not sure why that happen. But for past 6 months I have kind of lost my desire for knitting.
Have You ever felt like that? You have a hobby that is your passion, all of a sudden You have no interest in it anymore?
Some of You may say ….Oh no! This is unheard off. My knitting has been part of my daily life.
Well I think this little poncho request has brought back some nice memories of knitting. And how good it feels to be creating something handmade.
So I had a order for 4 skeins in a very deep plum colour. To be exact, it had to be the same as the top 2 skeins. I am very happy I was able to recreate the same colour and strength in the bottom 4 skeins as I have in the top 2.
Then decided to play around with 4 skeins of Fingering weight in a deep plum but much more with light to dark shades in same skeins. I am in love with this look and can’t wait to see them knit up.
Yahhh most of you know “Ripped Jeans” one pays a lot of money for them…but what if You have a pair of good Jeans you just can’t part with if there is a small rip right by the knee that every time you kneel down the rip gets bigger and longer…..Nooooo!!
Embroidery Work on Jeans is the new … THING …and guess what …I can do It!!!!! Yehhh
Lucky for me I was able to learn something NEW today at my work !! One this Baby Lock Alliance
I know one day I’ll show You how to use it too …smiles. I am learning how to work this Baby and that truly makes me happy… Practice, practice…so excited about his machine. It can do embroidery work on sleeves and pant legs…sssoooo coooollll… oh yes…Just need one now too….ahhh yes of to work I go.
I fixed my rip of about 2″ …yes and all with patterns already on the Baby Lock Alliance…Just having fun relax You too can do this…Yes I know some cash is needed for this baby …But one never knows…Loved every minute of learning how to do this …I am hooked!
My first try with dyeing yarn…love how each skein is full of colour and character. Each a bit different but that is how I like it.
That “One Of A Kind” look.
PASSION
Just perfect. well I had to play a bit and see how each yarn took the colour not all weight was agreeing with what I did…but in the end I think I am getting the hang of it.
Ja auch das noch, werdet ihr sage…Lach ich habe diese Woche einmal mit Wollen färben angefange. Ich bin der Meinung das es mir eigentlich recht gut gelungen ist. Jede Strange ist
“Einzig Artig”
PASSION
So richtig farbenfroh und genau so wie es mir gefällt.
Nun geht es lost damit etwas zu stricken
Nicht jede Wolle hatte die Farbe gleich angenommen so durfte ich damit etwas spielen.
The Olympic flame symbolizes peace, friendship, inspiration, passion and unity,”
I would say my children and I are lucky to see this wonderful event visiting our Town. With sunshine in the sky and by minus 9 degree this was a welcoming celebration. It is nice to see the community getting together to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic Torch. A memory to keep forever and wishing the athletes good luck. We all know they are doing the best they can. I have attached some of the pictures I took.
